The film started off okay, the death scene at the beginning was a little silly, but I was willing to let that slide, but the so called twist made no logical sense whatsoever to the point of being beyond stupid.

This made the plotline of Plan 9 from Outer Space look like a masterpiece.

This is your typical Eurocrap no logic horror movie that Argentio is famous for, where the gore is turned on full, but major plot holes are turned up even fuller.

I can't believe this has got rave reviews from critics and moviegoers; it baffles me when the same people slag off Paul W Anderson and Uwe Bowl yet praise this pile of donkey shite.

I don't mind a horror film that stretches the logic barrier, I love David Cronenberg’s strange and weird tales, but when this film does a Fight Club out of the blue, your left shouting at the screen WHAT???

Instead of being tense and scared, you just sit there dumb founded at how laughably bad this movie is. This film should be up for ridicule on the MST3K, it’s that bad.

A very unusual 70s cop movie, in a way that it's very homo erotic rather than the hard boiled cops that they usually had in the 70s, still good though.

I watched the following movies with my nephew over the weekend.

Evil Dead II -

Excellent as ever after all these years, still funny but not as extreme as the first Evil Dead.

Army of Darkness -

IMO this will never be part of the Evil Dead series as this was aimed more at the kids market like everything else was in the early 90s and the same thing is happening now. It was okay but still not as good as ED or ED II.

Blade -

Still cool, and the beginning is still excellent, but with bad CGI effects.

Blade II -

Even better than the first film.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show -

Funny as ever, Tim Curry is brilliantly cast as Frank.

Misery -

Like Silence of the Lambs this movie verges on campness even when it's supposed to be seriously scary but you end up laughing, like the scene where he uses his leg to trip her up.

Psycho -

The way horror movies should always be made, where everything is brightly lit, no false jumps, no messing, when something happens it happens, out of all those modern films he saw above, the only scene that made him jump was when the detective.....

Bubba Ho Tep -

Still funny, And Campbell and Davis are excellent in their rolls as Elvis and JFK.

Quote: Originally posted by Tony DeFrancisco I finally saw Emily Rose. Pretty good film if you want to waste two hours.

My Son and I both watched it. It was not as scary as hoped, but both of us thought it was very good film. Not being as graphic and devilish with the head-twist, etc...was a bit of a letdown though. I was hoping for a movie that scared the crap outta me.

Quote: Originally posted by Chris Gould I watched The Life Aquatic last night. Not really sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but can't see myself watching it again. Had a similar reaction to Tenenbaums. It seems Love it or Hate it mostly. I like it alot.

I saw Lord Of War last night: here are my thoughts: Based on actual events, Nicholas Cage stars as Yuri Orlov, a globetrotting arms dealer, while trying to stay one step ahead of a relentless interpol agent. While nothing great, the film is quite good, with good performances from the cast. I'd say, don't listen to the critics, go see it. It probably should have been trimmed by at least 15 minutes, since it runs at a long 122 minutes, but it's rarely ever boring. ***/****

Quote: Originally posted by Tony DeFrancisco I just watched The Longest Yard. That was the funniest shit I've ever saw. See Rushmore and The Graduate now! The Longest Yard(2005 version)was funny until *spoiler* caretaker died, then it just dragged and draggged. He died in The Original as well, but at least it didn't drag after.

Quote: Originally posted by Adam K lol. that's good. i'm sure that we all hope you do get better. and DO go see RED EYE - its awesome. just don't be expecting a twist. if you keep that in mind, you will be much happier at the end :D I'll see that or Everything Is Illuminated next. I still have a slight bit of a cold, but I'm healing, I can talk much better now though.

i also watched MOULIN ROUGE! this weekend and it is officially my favorite movie of all time ... it also helps that Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are my favorite actors, but, yes, that's my favorite movie now. i'm just now trying to save up the 47$ i need to get the 2-disc special edition DVD and the 2 soundtracks for the film off amazon

Quote: Originally posted by Adam K last movie i watched was SCREAM. it was the first time i'd seen it - and it was awesome! can't wait to watch 2 & 3 (ive got the box set).

oh, and in case you haven't seen it (or heard it), they ARE going to make SCREAM 4, but with no Neve Campbell or Wes Craven, but they will have David & Courtney Cox-Arquette (i saw this at Bloody-Disgusting.com) I watched Scream on demand.

and there was someone else, couldn't remember his name?? He played the doctor towards the end who was supposed to give an injection to Josh Lucas' character after he crash landed safely in Alaska. Can anyone give me his name??

Quote: Originally posted by floyd dylan Even though it's not a film I watch South Park, the Goobacks episode, this has got to be the funniest episode so far. Nah, I thought Fat Butt and Pancake Head or the one with the PSP and the Terry Shiavo case was the funnier ones. Goobacks were a good one though.

The Longest Yard - Watched this with my lass, because she wanted to see this before the remake, after watching it, she really enjoyed it, that she doesn't want to watch the remake.

Outland - A very good sci fi thriller starring Sean Connery, excellent story, the action is brill, and the final sequence is very tense.

Stargate: The Director's Cut - Still fun, which showed the talents of Devlin and Emmerich before they went downhill.

Flash Gordon (1980) - This is the ultimate fun action adventure sci fi since the original Star Wars trilogy, a film that doesn't take itself seriously, the special effects a great, the story is great, the the action is brill, and of course the Queen Soundtrack rocks.

Starship Troopers - Just fancied watching this movie again, I still think this is Verhoven's best film since Total Recall.

Tango & Cash - One of those films that I know I've seen but somehow forgotten what it's all about, so re-watched it, and it was okay, couldn't understand the logic of Bryon James speaking badly in an English accent.

The Hustler - This has to be one of the coolest movie of all time, the story is excellent the performances by Paul Newman, Jackie Gleeson, George C Scott, and Piper Laurie are top notch. Well worth owning.
